2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · NX66 VHM

The Dacia Duster has covered 78,448 miles over its ten-year lifespan, which averages out to a typical 7,845 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has seen consistent, moderate use rather than extreme long-distance commuting or prolonged periods of inactivity, meaning the mechanical components have likely been kept in a state of regular operation. The MOT history shows a generally stable condition, though there are signs of emerging wear that a buyer should monitor. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection in April 2025, it initially failed due to a headlamp aim issue and play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. The headlamp issue is a minor adjustment, but the anti-roll bar linkage indicates that the suspension components are beginning to experience the natural wear expected at this mileage. Looking at the trend, the vehicle’s history is largely clean, with no recorded issues in 2022 or 2023. The appearance of a tyre advisory in 2024 and the suspension defect in 2025 suggests a slight shift toward needing more frequent maintenance as the vehicle enters its second decade. This is not unusual for a Duster of this age, but it does mark a transition from a trouble-free period to one where consumables and suspension parts will require closer attention. The mileage is neither exceptionally high nor low, making it difficult to determine if the car has been driven hard or gently. Because the suspension linkage has already shown signs of play, you should be aware that other rubber bushings and ball joints may be reaching the end of their service life.
